How much does ShoutOUT cost?

ShoutOUT costs less than what most carriers charge for ordinary text messages. The initial download includes 25 voice-to-text credits. After that, you can top up with voice credits for pennies per message. Voice credit bundles:

50 for $1.99

150 for $3.99

250 for $4.99

Do I use up a credit every time I use voice to edit a message?

No. One voice message = one voice credit, no matter how many times you speak before sending your message.

Keyboard-entered text messages are FREE with ShoutOUT right?

Yes they are.

What about privacy?

ShoutOUT speech recognition is fully automated and learns over time—the transcription that appears on your handset is created with no human intervention whatsoever. ShoutOUT does not upload your contacts to any server.

How accurate is ShoutOUT?

ShoutOUT is based on state-of-the-art speech recognition technology, optimized for North American English. For best results, hold the phone 3 to 6 inches from your mouth or use your wired headset equipped with a microphone, and speak in a clear, normal voice. Avoid background noise, and note that recognition of unusual proper names can be difficult.
